Steel Lace for Feminine Wear.
From the Pittsburg Chronicle.

from the FllLSDu1g CnrOn1ce.
The question Of making laces Of iron
and steel for ladies' and children g
wear is again being discussed in art,
mill and fashion circles. at the Cen
tennial in 1876 piece Of steel rolled
by Pittsburg mill was on exhibition
which was so thin and light that it
weighed much less than book leaf,
and could be blown from the hand
easier than q piece Of paper OF the
same size. The iron leaf was rolled on
train OF rolls upon which heavy
tank and boiler iron is nowrolled.
Experts say that curtains and other
fine laces can be made ofeoft malleabIe
iron, and in every way be used with
greater satisfaction than cotton laces.
The sheets will necessarily have to be
rolled down to an exceedingly low
gauge, and then pressed into any de.
sirable pattern and shape. There will
be no trouble in furnishing iron laces
sor ladies' and children's wear, with
their names and other Communications
In flagree design. An introduction of
steel laces would establish in Pitts
burg an industry that would givework
to at least 5000 men, and consume
annually not less than 76, 900 tons of
steel, which is now a drug in the mar
ket at less than &c pound. Steel
lace, unlike cotton, can be made light
and heavy without affecting the grade,
color or brightness. We may yet see
fashionable women wearing steel
shawls and trimmings for their hats
and dresses.

A Wonderful Sealing Graft.

A craft the description of which
equals anything to be found In the
pages Of Jules Verne's eccentric
writings is at present under construc-
ton in this city, says the Montreal
Witness. The craft may be described
as a. ''catamaran, or steam launch
built of steel, with two cigar-shaped
bulls, each about sixty-tive feet in
length, with deck binding the two
hulls together. Each hull is built in
two compartments, one of which is
to be used for water ballast and the
other as g. reservoir of coal oil-the
latter being used for fuel. The motive
power is obtained from two vertical
engines and two propellers, the shafts
of the latter being so arranged as to
lift themselves out of the way on
striking floating ice or eny other OBJ
stacle. The boat is intended for whale,
walrus and seal hunting in the Arctic,
and will be furnished with q Gatling
gun as we'll as a powerful electric bat
terry, sufficiently strong to paralyze
any aquatic mammal extant. The
boat is said to be q copy OF German
invention. 1t will be taken apart
when finished and packed for trans
portation on board the whaler to
which 1T is an accessory.

How She Left the Train.

The Bristol correspondent of the
Waterbury American writes to that
paper: "As Conductor Baldwin gave
the signal and stepped on the lower
step of the car on the O'Clock west
bound passenger train Friday night,
q Mrs. Kane appeared at the car door
as Mr.. Baldwin was looking in an
other direction, and, finding the train
had started, she leaped from where
she stood, alighting on the conductors
shoulders, breaking his hold on the
rods, and both stumbled headlong to
the platform, the woman on top, and
rolling off like q bag of sand. Mr..
Baldwin was not aware of what had
come to him till he was picking him
self up, which he did as gracefully as
possible, and boarded his train, which
had stopped for him. The train Was
soon of again, and the woman
brushed her nice dress, saying she was
not hurt, and started away leaving
the spectators and railroad men
suffering peculiar symptoms of cramps

EAOa tuO J0WclcIS Weekly
Every cheap jewelry ''fakir" regards
the South as his special territory, and
the darkies, when they have money,
will buy of him anything that does
not cost more than fifty cents. I met
a queer character in Georgia. He told
me that he had been peddling cheap
jewelry, either singly or in combina-
tion envelopes, for nearly fifteen years.
Evidently the business paid, too, be-
cause he put up at one of the best
hotels and lived pretty high when he
wasn't out trading" as he callsd it.
So much ''jewelry" used tog go into his
packages that often wondered how
on earth he could give even so much
brass for twenty-five cents.
In one parcel, which q darkey
bought one night, saw him put q
watch, six colored stone rings, two
plain band rings, six cuff-buttons, O.
watch chain, half dozen collar-but-
tons and two rings with enormous
white stones. When the last two ar
ticles dropped into the bag, the buyer,
who had been watching every move,
passed up his quarter and left the
crowd with protruding eyes.
Half an hour later, while | was still
watching the fakir's modus operandi
his customer came back with q look
OF scorn on his face and demanded his
money bnak because "dem stuns

brutal treatment of his wife. He was
found guilty and sent to the convict
farm, from which he escaped. He did
not leave the county, but directed the
women to watch the movements of
his pursuers, and lived at home
among them. The governor offered
500 reward for his arrest, but every
body feared him too much to attempt
his capture. Every week or two he
sent letters to the newspapers daring
anyone to arrest him. The reward

HOW BEN. BUTLER GOT RICH.
Young Men of To-day May do Likewise
if They Follow Advice Given.

1T They Follow Advice Given.
General B. f. Butler being asked forsome
suggestions on gaining success, stated that
when he was young lawyer, practicing in
Lowell, Mass, bank president advised
him to take his little deposit and buy real
estate, from which he could be deriving
some revenue: The general said that he had
but little money and was uncertain as to his
future
Never mind" said the bank president,
go to the next public auction of real es-
tate, bid off lot with building of some
KIND on it. pay down what money you have
and give your promissory notes for the bal
ance. You will come out all right"
General Butler says this advice was good
When man has obligated himself, by his
notes, to pay money at certain time, it in
cllnes him to economy. He followed the
advice, and in time became the owner of
several parcels of valuable real estate in
Lowell.
Two classes will not be likely to heed
such advice-the improvident and the over
cautious. The latter will be apt to say: cit
would be all right but for those dreadful
promissory notes. They are always run
ming on and if man falls sick they do not
wait for him to get we'll"
There is this danger, of course, but one
can make no business venture without
some risk, and with the knowledge ac-
duHcu Wy l6CouI 1uNoSGlSdG1OIS OF Ine CAUSE
OF most ordinary ailments, and the means
of cure, one runs little risk from that source.
1t is now known that most of the common
ailments have their origin in deranged kid
neys. They are the chief blood purifiers OF
the system and when disordered breaking
down somewhere is soon inevitable. be-
cause the poison, which in their healthy
condition is eliminated, is carried through
the entire system.
Put them in order and health returns.
G. d. Dewey, a successful man, presi
dent of the Johnston Harvester Company,
Batavia, n. Y, gives his experience as fol-
lows:
In 1882 my health was failing, my head
